Background:
Herenya was born during the darkest and bleekest of winters. Her village was located in the mountains and was remote and distant from other people and races. They were also highly superstitious of things that are different. With the struggle to bring Herenya into this world, her mother succombed soon after. She was born white as a ghost and with eyes just as equally pale. Such an ill omen brought about the villagers bases instincts and the call for her to be put into the snow and left for dead. Only if she were to survive the coldest night would she be able to remain in the village. Her life was spared only by her father's love and belief that she had potential to be the greatest shaman there people could ever have. It was his duty to leave her on the mountain side, but before he left her, he cast a potent warmth spell on her.
If this trial were to have been the sparing of her life, she often as a youth wished she had been dead. For even after her being welcomed back with amazement into her village, she was still treated differently. Her father convinced the other elders and the Alpha of their people to allow him to begin her instructions as a Shaman when she was of age. His current apprentice took no liking to her and her life was a series of torments by both youths and her fathers apprentice. When he took on the mantle of the new shaman and her aged father passed on to a new life, Herenya become his apprentice. Though his new position gave her a little more leway and he eased up somewhat on her, he did not share the same ideals as her father once did and had instilled in her. Thus when her abilities seemed to take a turn and he new she would oneday surpass her he had her outcast from her pack. The Shaman she studied under convinced the elders it was because of her insistence on delving deeper into some of the magic practices that other races study. Now she wanders the realm of Belariath, seeking knowledge and helping those in need of healing. Her attunement to the spirits becoming stronger with each passing day that she was free from restraint of her research.
